Colin Edwards makes it two wins in a row

Colin Edwards took victory in race one at the European round of the World Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch. Edwards hunted down Neil Hodgson, passing the British rider on the inside through Sterlings Bend. Once in front Edwards never looked back, quickly building up a lead of around one second and using it to control the race.

Despite riding with a broken rib, runaway Championship points leader Troy Bayliss managed to finish on the podium in third place, and even set a new lap record doing so. He pushed the leading pair hard all the way, only backing off when he knew there was no way he could catch Hodgson in the last few laps.

Behind them there was a big fight for fourth place, initially between seven riders. But Ruben Xaus and Nori Haga made a break from the other five. They were followed at first by wildcard rider Michael Rutter on his privateer Ducati, but he slid off at Graham Hill Bend on lap 20, leaving the two to fight hard over that fourth place. And fight they did ­ swapping places several times in the last few laps! Coming into Clearways for the final time, with Haga in front, Xaus ran into the back of the Aprilia. Smoke poured off their tires and both riders wobbled dangerously, but both stayed on. Haga took fourth but stopped on the cool-off lap apparently suffering a severe case of sharp contact with a sensitive area of his body on the petrol tank!

Behind them Chris Walker and Ben Bostrom fought to the line over sixth with the Walker just getting his Kawasaki over the line in front of Bostrom’s Ducati.

Remembering Larry Schwarzbach

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

By David Swarts

Michael Barnes is at Mid-Ohio to remember rather than ride this weekend. “I’m here to remember Larry Schwarzbach,” said Barnes when asked why he was at the track without his Team Hooters Mountain Dew Suzuki. “It was ten years ago that he was killed here in a race.”

The same day, August 2, that he won his first and only AMA 600cc Supersport race, beating the dominant Honda CBR600F2s with a Yamaha FZR600, Schwarzbach crashed his Vance & Hines Yamaha Superbike, hit the wall outside of Mid-Ohio’s final corner, bounced back onto the track, was hit by another rider, and died from his injuries. Fortunately, the wall, which used to be immediately adjacent to the track surface, has since been moved further away from the edge of the track, fronted by a gravel trap and protected by inflatable air barriers.

Barnes said he was teammates with Schwarzbach in 1990 on Team Mad Dog and fondly remembers splitting a qualifying session on that team’s Superbike with Schwarzbach at Mid-Ohio to see who was faster and who would get to race the bike that day. “I’m just here telling people about him so they don’t forget,” said veteran racer Barnes.

Nicky Hayden Takes Eighth AMA Superbike Win Of The Season Sunday At Mid-Ohio

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

American Honda’s Nicky Hayden won Sunday’s red-flag-interrupted Superbike final on his Dunlop-equipped Honda RC51 Superbike.

The win is Hayden’s eighth Superbike race win of the season and the 16th of his young career. The victory moves Hayden into a tie for third on the all-time AMA Superbike win list, with Wayne Rainey.

Kawasaki’s Eric Bostrom led the most laps and ran the fastest lap of the race, but Hayden slipped past when Bostrom ran wide and was unchallenged to the finish on Sunday.

Team Blimpie Yoshimura Suzuki’s Mat Mladin turned a good start into a third-place finish on his GSX-R750.

The race was stopped on lap 12 of 26 when Mladin’s teammate Aaron Yates crashed hard into the haybales outside of turn seven. At post time, Yates was being treated for a deep gash in his left arm, above the elbow.

Updated Post: Edwards Wins World Superbike Race One At Brands Hatch

By Glenn LeSanto

Colin Edwards makes it two wins in a row

Colin Edwards took victory in race one at the European round of the World Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch. Edwards hunted down Neil Hodgson, passing the British rider on the inside through Sterlings Bend. Once in front Edwards never looked back, quickly building up a lead of around one second and using it to control the race.

Despite riding with a broken rib, runaway Championship points leader Troy Bayliss managed to finish on the podium in third place, and even set a new lap record doing so. He pushed the leading pair hard all the way, only backing off when he knew there was no way he could catch Hodgson in the last few laps.

Behind them there was a big fight for fourth place, initially between seven riders. But Ruben Xaus and Nori Haga made a break from the other five. They were followed at first by wildcard rider Michael Rutter on his privateer Ducati, but he slid off at Graham Hill Bend on lap 20, leaving the two to fight hard over that fourth place. And fight they did ­ swapping places several times in the last few laps! Coming into Clearways for the final time, with Haga in front, Xaus ran into the back of the Aprilia. Smoke poured off their tires and both riders wobbled dangerously, but both stayed on. Haga took fourth but stopped on the cool-off lap apparently suffering a severe case of sharp contact with a sensitive area of his body on the petrol tank!

Behind them Chris Walker and Ben Bostrom fought to the line over sixth with the Walker just getting his Kawasaki over the line in front of Bostrom’s Ducati.

Remembering Larry Schwarzbach

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

By David Swarts

Michael Barnes is at Mid-Ohio to remember rather than ride this weekend. “I’m here to remember Larry Schwarzbach,” said Barnes when asked why he was at the track without his Team Hooters Mountain Dew Suzuki. “It was ten years ago that he was killed here in a race.”

The same day, August 2, that he won his first and only AMA 600cc Supersport race, beating the dominant Honda CBR600F2s with a Yamaha FZR600, Schwarzbach crashed his Vance & Hines Yamaha Superbike, hit the wall outside of Mid-Ohio’s final corner, bounced back onto the track, was hit by another rider, and died from his injuries. Fortunately, the wall, which used to be immediately adjacent to the track surface, has since been moved further away from the edge of the track, fronted by a gravel trap and protected by inflatable air barriers.

Barnes said he was teammates with Schwarzbach in 1990 on Team Mad Dog and fondly remembers splitting a qualifying session on that team’s Superbike with Schwarzbach at Mid-Ohio to see who was faster and who would get to race the bike that day. “I’m just here telling people about him so they don’t forget,” said veteran racer Barnes.

Nicky Hayden Takes Eighth AMA Superbike Win Of The Season Sunday At Mid-Ohio

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

American Honda’s Nicky Hayden won Sunday’s red-flag-interrupted Superbike final on his Dunlop-equipped Honda RC51 Superbike.

The win is Hayden’s eighth Superbike race win of the season and the 16th of his young career. The victory moves Hayden into a tie for third on the all-time AMA Superbike win list, with Wayne Rainey.

Kawasaki’s Eric Bostrom led the most laps and ran the fastest lap of the race, but Hayden slipped past when Bostrom ran wide and was unchallenged to the finish on Sunday.

Team Blimpie Yoshimura Suzuki’s Mat Mladin turned a good start into a third-place finish on his GSX-R750.

The race was stopped on lap 12 of 26 when Mladin’s teammate Aaron Yates crashed hard into the haybales outside of turn seven. At post time, Yates was being treated for a deep gash in his left arm, above the elbow.
